Wang Defa knew perfectly well how much poop was on his buttocks, and once the investigation was conducted, he was doomed.

The entire long gray chain was about to be revealed.

I regret it so much, I'm kicking myself!

"You're just a scoundrel, you brought this on yourself!" Guo Songtao kicked him away in disgust.

At this moment, the Director of Health, who had just received the call, rushed over. This seasoned official immediately understood what was going on.

"Your Excellency, I am late and must offer a sincere apology."

Guo Songtao merely gave a cold snort and didn't respond.

In his despair, Wang Defa saw his superior arrive, and suddenly saw a glimmer of hope through the gap in the dark clouds.

We're all in this together, we can't just stand by and watch them die, can we?

"Chief, I meant well but things went wrong. Please plead with the mayor to let me off this time."

The health director, his small eyes half-closed, knew exactly what was going on. He said righteously, "Audacious, derelict in his duty, and still has the nerve to complain? We'll see what Xiao Zhou's attitude is like."

You idiot, pleading with the mayor in public is practically suicide!

As if understanding his superior's hint, Wang Defa immediately knelt down and crawled in front of Zhou Hao, pleading with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Little Zhou, please, have mercy and put in a good word for me with the mayor~ I beg you, Xia Ziruo could have been promoted to associate chief physician long ago."

"Confess your problems properly and try to get leniency," Zhou Hao said coldly.

Wang Defa's voice whimpered as he completely broke down, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. A stream of yellow liquid slowly flowed from his thigh and trouser leg, creating a perfectly detailed high-definition world map.

Zhou Hao, you're too ruthless!

The health minister felt a sudden tightness in his anus and realized something was wrong: I'm like a moth drawn to a flame!

I stood there, completely bewildered, feeling utterly disheartened. I wondered if this bastard would implicate me too.

Everyone scoffed, their bewilderment mixed with a hint of disdain.

Luo Zhiyuan also asked for Zhou Hao's phone number and added him on WeChat. "Little Zhou, let's get together sometime. I'll introduce you to some friends, and we can have a good chat."

"We'll see."

Zhou Hao nodded, then took his leave, politely declining Guo Songtao and Guo Kai's offer of a private car, and walked out of the emergency room.

"Zhou Hao, how are you?"

Xia Ziruo, who had been waiting outside, came forward, her concern evident in her words.

"She's been saved, Sister Ziruo, let's go."

As Zhou Hao walked, he said, "You don't need to be suspended from your post for self-reflection; you might even get a promotion. Wang Defa has been placed under investigation."

"what?"

Xia Ziruo was utterly shocked, her mind blank for several breaths before she reacted, quickly following his steps and saying incredulously:

"You mean Guo Xuan is really alive?"

No matter how you look at it, this story seems too bizarre.

Even renowned traditional Chinese medicine expert Luo Zhiyuan was powerless to help, so how could Zhou Hao, a mental illness patient who was barely knowledgeable, be brought back to life?

For the past three years, he has been mentally impaired. How did he suddenly become a miracle doctor with the ability to bring the dead back to life?

Unbelievable!

"Yes, it will be fully healed after another six months of recuperation."

Zhou Hao nodded.

"Zhou Hao, listen to my advice, let's stop here. You're not a professional doctor. If Miss Guo is alright, that's fine, but if something happens to her later, it will be terrible. Guo Songtao can ruin you with just one word."

"Okay, I understand."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the parking lot. Xia Ziruo took out her car keys, opened the SMART car door, and smiled faintly:

"I've already notified the dealership to tow your Lamborghini for repairs. Ride in my car—you won't think it's too low-class, will you?"

"Thank you, Sister Ziruo, but you're too kind."

As Zhou Hao sat in the passenger seat, a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted into his nostrils, calming his mind.

The SMART car drove out of the hospital gate and quickly merged into the heavy traffic on the street.

"Zhou Hao, it's almost noon. Come with me to Yunyang Grand Hotel for lunch. Today is my mother's birthday." Xia Ziru skillfully turned the steering wheel.

"Uh, I didn't bring a gift. How embarrassing!"

Zhou Hao was taken aback; of course he remembered that date.

Actually, not bringing a gift was only one of the reasons.

The Zhou and Xia families were originally close friends and had a very good relationship. Zhou Hao and Xia's second daughter, Zhou Zixuan, were betrothed as children, making them childhood sweethearts.

The two were both students at Sichuan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and had many fond memories together.

However, after the Zhou family's incident, Xia Zixuan initially visited Zhou Hao from time to time, but later her visits gradually faded, and the marriage was put on hold, with the engagement automatically nullified.

Now, facing people and events from the past, there's still some unease and resentment.

"No need, what kind of relationship do our two families have? Your presence is the greatest gift." Xia Ziruo pursed her lips.

"All right."

Zhou Hao didn't hesitate and readily agreed.

He decided to confront these unavoidable people and events head-on, to make a clean break, and to start a new life.

After half an hour.

SMART suddenly stopped in the parking space in front of Yunyang Hotel.

The moment Zhou Hao and Xia Ziruo appeared in the banquet hall on the second floor, the entire place suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Hao, the uninvited guest.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaohao has come to see you."

Xia Ziruo quickly pulled Zhou Hao to the main table and introduced him to her parents, saying, "He's grown taller again."

"Hello Uncle, happy birthday Auntie."

Zhou Hao greeted everyone generously and nodded slightly to the others.

"Xiao Hao?"

At this moment, the middle-aged woman sitting in the main seat suddenly paused, then said with some displeasure, "Weren't you sick? What are you doing here?"

This person is Xia Ziruo's mother, today's protagonist, Qiu Shulan.

She had an exceptionally refined air about her, was very well-maintained, and had smooth, supple skin. She was wearing a purple cheongsam with a slit that went up to her upper thigh.

The more they liked this prospective son-in-law three years ago, the more they despise him now. Even if Zhou Hao recovers from his illness, he will still be a penniless pauper, and the Zhou family's assets have been completely emptied by Liu Yannong and her daughter.

Although the Xia family did not explicitly dissolve the engagement between Zixuan and him, it was clear to everyone that the engagement was already dead in name only.

Let's just be upfront today, so we don't all end up with unresolved issues, especially since this fool might still have illusions about Zixuan.

Zi Xuan is now taken; she has married the second young master of the wealthy Shen family in Yunyang City.

"Auntie, I'm all better now."

Zhou Hao said calmly.

"Xiao Hao, it's wonderful news that you're healthy again. Today is a double celebration, please have a seat."

The middle-aged man sitting next to Qiu Shulan had a kind face and a gentle demeanor.

It was Xia Ziruo's father, Xia Zhongjing.

The owner of Zhongjing Chinese Herbal Medicine Company has assets exceeding ten million yuan and belongs to the middle class.

He was constantly worried about the illness of his old comrade-in-arms' son, Zhou Hao, and wanted to visit him many times, but his wife's combination of persuasion and pressure prevented him from doing so, leaving him extremely depressed.

I finally met Zhou Hao today and was so happy to see that he had recovered that I was practically speechless with joy.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

Zhou Hao sat down next to Xia Ziruo in a very generous manner.

"Rat, why didn't you tell me beforehand? We can't go back to the way things were. It's better if we don't see each other anymore."

At that moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice rang out.
